Say what?
HardballTalk reports that world class bigot and hate monger Bryan Fischer of the Christian group the American Family Association says that the country, theirs not ours, has been saved by a song that Irving Berlin wrote a hundred years ago for a vaudeville revue called Yip Yip Yaphank. Mr. Fischer also believes that all of the world's ills are caused by the other: Blacks, Jews, Catholics, Gays, Left handed people, Native Americans, Hispanics, you know, t h e m. Especially Muslims.
“By God’s blessing, we have not been hit by a Muslim attack since 9/11. I suggest that in part, we have Major League Baseball to thank. You remember that the week after 9/11 Major League Baseball converted the seventh inning stretch from the singing of ‘Take Me Out To The Ballgame’ to the singing of ‘God Bless America.’
“Now ‘God Bless America’ is not just a song, it is a prayer. When we sing that we are inviting God to bless America, to stand beside her and to guide her through the night with a light from above. So for one brief, shining moment every night, Major League Baseball has converted our stadiums into cathedrals in which tens of thousands of ordinary Americans lift their hearts and voices as one and ask God to watch over and protect the United States. Ladies and gentleman, I think that those prayers have been heard and they have been answered.”
I presume the Toronto Canada Blue Jays don't play God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch which begs the question: Why hasn't Toronto been leveled by t h e m?
Over to you Mr. F.
